Width Laws and Spectral Geometry
Abstract
We develop a common framework for random width laws, spectral populations, and geometric reconstruction. For a -dimensional orthotope, we prove an exact parity law for the maximal -grade of every spherical width cumulant, including noncancellation and sign in all dimensions and orders. The first scalar width moments recover the unordered side vector, and moments are generically insufficient. Each Laplace mode generates an auxiliary width law whose upper endpoint satisfies . At high energy the modal coordinate partitions converge to a universal Dirichlet law, while an unsmoothed measure-valued cutoff expansion retains the first geometric memory at face scale. Its simplex moment determines, up to an explicit nonzero factor and a separate off-diagonal argument, a basis-independent projector-gradient Weyl tensor that reconstructs the orthotope. Genuine edge-scale jumps obstruct a third coefficient for the total raw cutoff; exact mixed-boundary Mobius inversion isolates every coordinate stratum and restores a recursive bulk-boundary expansion with a smaller remainder. Beyond orthotopes, we prove direction-labelled identifiability for a canonical linear-quadratic class and finite recovery from direction-sensitive ridge moments under a generator bound. In dimension three, a global great-circle incidence calculus gives the exact step, fold, endpoint-fold, and corner coefficients of reduced zonotopal width densities, including an explicit non-simple corner cancellation. The results distinguish universal aggregation, recoverable geometric memory, and the remaining scalar inverse problem.
